PROTECTING OUR CHILDREN WITH NEW INITIATIVES
An accessory for children, a necessity for parents
Most parents can tell you of a time when their children had been lost or wandered off, or that their child is high risk due to special needs, allergies to food or medication, all high anxiety and stressful experiences.
Children with autism in particular typically wander or bolt from a safe setting to get to something of interest, such as water, the park, or train tracks or to get away from something, such as loud noises, commotion, or bright lights. Dangers associated with wandering include drowning, getting struck by a vehicle, falling from a high place, dehydration, hypothermia, abduction, victimization and assault. Because children especially with autism are challenged in areas of language and cognitive function, it may be difficult to search for them, or teach them about dangers and ways to stay safe.
Having I.D. and emergency information on them is the next step in improving the safety of our children offering extra security and peace of mind in knowing that your children will have that crucial, potentially lifesaving information always at hand, providing contact details for immediate recovery, as well as to profile their medical requirements if needed.
Children, to athletes, to the elderly should wear I.D. because in case of emergency they want and need to tell you something. Checking for Emergency ID takes just a few seconds, yet could make all the difference in giving crucial information that needs to be passed on.
As a mum of 3 young children I came up with my idea, the IDME wristband for children with my husband Ryan when our eldest was almost 3 - too big for the buggy and too young to be trusted. Having lost him more than once due to his wandering ways, every minute he was missing felt more like an hour, I knew there and then there had to be a quicker way for someone to contact me once he was found if he ever ran off again.
